If it were a statement you wouldn't ask it, you would tell it. You can imply a statement through a question but it still qualifies as a question.
It wasn't necessary to clarify if it was a question or not for your sentence to make sense though. All you needed was speech marks and perhaps a less awkward way of fitting the sentence together such as using "ask" instead of "say":
Is it sad that "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" is something i ask constantly at work? XD
If you really want it to be a statement then invert the first two words.
Other than that I have to admit that I understood the meaning upon first reading it, I would say you were perfectly understandable if not perfectly beautiful to read.
Just remember that by trusting your fellow users not to waste time dragging up your grammar you end up providing them the opportunity to do so.
