I'm sure you can find plenty of glass water bottles. Choosing to use a glass water bottle instead of a plastic one is very earth friendly. Going "green" helps the planet by reducing the amount of trash that is accumulating.
There is a very neat website that you can order a glass water bottle through. Love Bottle is reusable, earth-friendly, and customizable to an extent:

There is also Aquasana Designer Glass Water Bottles, here:

The Aquasana website says:
"The only way to keep water truly fresh and pure is to store it in a glass container. All plastic bottles leach plastic byproducts like BPA and phthalate into the water, affecting both taste and purity. The longer water sits in a plastic container, the more contaminated the water will become.
Glass maintains the pure quality and taste of filtered water. When you open your refrigerator door and see a crystal-clear, cold glass bottle of water, you will naturally drink more. Treat yourself with some fresh fruit flavored Aquasana water using lemon wedges, strawberries, limes or oranges!
Drinking more water is one of the very best health habits we can learn. Every health related process that happens in our body, happens with water. If our water tastes, smells and looks pure and healthy, we will instinctively drink more and be healthier as a result.
Glass is also better for the environment, as it can be continuously reused and is 100% recyclable. Bottled water use results in over 60 million plastic bottles being produced, filled, transported and then disposed of every day in America alone!
So do yourself and our planet a favor - Bottle Your Own, and GO GLASS!"
Lastly, another recommendation would be to order from Sesen, as their glass water bottle BPA free, scratch-resistant, lead-free white inked with their logo, and even comes with 100% recycled plastic bottle bag and ice blanket:

The worst kind of water bottle is the kind that you usually only use once--the PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottle that you find in grocery stores and gas stations, used for water, soda and juice. This kind of plastic has been proven to leach DEHP (Bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate) after repeated use and is a probable carcinogen. They can also harbor bacterial growth inside any cracks and crevices inside the bottle, which cannot be too good for your health either.
If you are looking for a healthier option you may also want to look into purchasing stainless steel reusable container (such as Kleen Kanteen in the link below):

or heading to Think Outside the Bottle for a pretty nifty stainless steel bottle:

So, your best bet is to shop online or find a bottle that you feel comfortable using at home (unlikely to happen as they will probably have plastic closures). There are plenty of options available. Here is a last note on why you should stay very much away from Nalagene water bottles:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
"Many Nalgene water bottles and other hard plastic sport water bottles are made of polycarbonate (#7 on the bottom) , which may leach Bisphenol A, an estrogen-like chemical. Canada is considering a ban of products containing Bisphenol A (BPA) and a new American study links it to breast cancer and early puberty, and is particularly concerned about the effect on babies. Others have raised concerns about the effect of feminizing hormones on men, such as breast enlargement or dropping semen counts."
I hope you find a nice glass bottle to begin using as a water bottle at work. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me! :)
