Should I use it at home, or maybe try it in one of the work PCs?

Leave it for 24 hours until it is dry and then it will be fine. Electronics are only damaged if power is applied when they are wet.
The odds of you damaging the PC are very low, The USB drive will blow up first.

Agree - leave it to dry out. The longer the better.
The only good/bad bit is putting it thru the washing machine, is its cleanned up all those dirty sites! ;D
