Make sure you leave home machine on when you go to work.
work# ssh -R 55022:localhost:22 me@homepc
and pw.

home# ssh -p 55022 me@localhost
Now you just need to adjust the sshd.conf so that it won't time out
before you get home ;)
nohup ssh -R 55022:localhost:22 -N -f me@homepc &
will make the ssh connection stand alone after you log
off. Actually, I wrote a program which runs off of
cron which keeps such a connection up.
