I'll try jogging about an hours before my game on Saturday, let you guys know how it works.
I'm in the same boat, in an office for 8 hours a day.

When I get up and around and do stuff during the workday, I find that I "warm up" in a game much easier. Stuff includes:

- Parking far away and walking a 1/2 mile to/from work.
- Taking the stairs instead of the elevator (working on the 11th floor has it's advantages!)
- Going for hour-long walks/hikes during lunch (Edmonton's river valley is awesome for this).
- Grabbing a coworker or two, walking to the park, and playing catch / frisbee / etc during coffee breaks.
- Doing stretching exercises a couple times a day.

I can't get *too* intense during the work day, because I sweat a lot and there's no showers at work. But keeping the blood flowing all day definitely helps me in the evenings.

A lot can be said for warming up right before a game too, but that's already been said.
