You could download the necessary files from the
repositries at work or elsewhere and take them home on
USB key or CD.

Then on the command line:

cd /path/to/files
sudo dpkg -i filename.deb

The files needed and the process of adding MP3 support
to Soundjuicer are explained here:

Also look at the following to see if there is anything
else that you might want:

The order of installation may well be of importance
and you may be able to install them using the GUI.
Don't know the repositry addresses off hand.
