You may be able to find pure natural lemon oil or orange oil at a hardware or furniture store. DON'T use furniture polish or anything with any additives.

The other option, given that a little goes a long way where lemon/orange oil and fretboards is concerned, is those little aromatherapy bottles of essential oils, which you can buy at all kinds of stores. Again, ensure it is pure natural oil you buy.

you're drinking 40's at work? That's awesome!!!! Nothing beats $1.99 for 40oz of fine malt liquor Try drinking the Old English to the top of the label then top it off with some good OJ ... sounds gross but its delicious

The lemon oil needs to have naptha in it so that it will soak into the wood. I've had good luck with kyser Lem-Oil on rosewood fingerboards:
