I would recommend artificial plants unless you're absolutely in need of a real plant. Plants have trouble if they're not near windows, and the (necessary) occaisional changing the potting soild is a little bit messy. Something you don't want to do in the office for sure.
If you're still dead-set on plants, just go to your favorite store that sells plants and look for one that clearly indicates that it does best in low light. Don't consider anything else. I'd also try to stick with plants with smaller leaves. For some reason, broad leaf plants seem to be more fragile. Something really hardy, like an "exotic" type of ivy, might be your best bet.

I don't need a real plant, but it'd be nice to have a green thumb for once. Ivy huh? Sounds like a good start...
