Some other panniers actually clip on. Ortlieb has some, I think you can get those all over including REI. some front Panniers work on the back and are slightly smaller if you don't have a lot to carry.
I ride in my work clothes for my 8 mile each way commute. Pants and a t-shirt when it's warm with a spare t and my shirt in my bag. Take it slow in, enjoy the morning, set speed records on the way home.
