Ask for a 12/3 extension cord long enough to reach an independant plug and your computing area.
14/3 will be sufficient. The outlet will be a standard NEMA 5-15 rated 15A maximum and the house will be wired with 14 gauge wire on a 15A fuse or breaker. Therefore, it's highly unlikely that anything heavier than a 14 gauge extension cord will be required. (The lower the gauge, the thicker the wire.)
