Are there any short-term tricks other than buying a humidifer? I'm in a room with 7 other people, and yes.. there is wall-2-wall carpeting.

Is there Carpet in your office? If so there is a build up of static electricity in the air because the office air is dry. You could get a humidifier.

Central air conditioning removes the moisture in the air and increases the ability to produce static electricity. A humidifier would do wonders.

might be from the carpet
try this
Carpet Shocks!
To stop the static shock in rooms with wall to wall carpeting, fill a spray bottle with a mixture of one part liquid fabic softener and five parts water, then lightly mist the carpet.

Complain to your supervisor that this is happening to you and they will of course make some changes with your chair and cabinet, I am sure they dont want to be liable for any injuries.

Someone told me once that placing a dryer sheet in your pocket will help decrease static electricity. I never tried it, but it may help.
