Im Stuck At Work! Help! Lol

Well, this really isn't funny ....... ok, here is what happened. I started my car. OK. Fine, nothing went wrong.

Went to backup out of my parking lot at work, ok, fine ... worked like normal.

As soon as I pull out and flip the lights on -- DEAD
Where it sits, now when I go to crank it -- NOTHING, wont turn, wont do shi0t.

Anyone have any ideas?!?!

Brand new battery, brand new alternator.
