I'm not sure that would work.

I have my openVPN assigning IPs from a private range, 10.8.0.0 to my  
laptop.  My office gateway is from our ISP on a public IP  
123.123.123.123.

My guess is that somewhere on the VPN server, I need to configure some  
kind of route or bridge from the opvnp ip block to the public ip block??
