Not many of us work as we are mostly all independently wealthy. Why would we want to go out there and catch the morning red eye? Actually sounds like your alternator decided not to get up this morning as well. But anyways you could remove, check, and clean the various connections to your alternator to insure they are okay. Think your car has a serpentine belt but make sure the belt is still tensioned properly whatever type it is. Guess you could order a 20.00 voltage regulator and try it.(I would) If above does not correct the problem likely 90 percent chance it's in the alternator itself unfortunatly.
