I took it to Autozone and they told me there is nothing wrong with the alternator and the battery. I stop using the air conditioner. Now it's working fine.
So they also checked the warning system? You should have gotten the battery messages and the warning sound as well.

It is again low. I was using airconditioner. I think I need again jump after work.

We are trying to help you - respond to all posts please.
Also: the top gauges (besides gas) should all be in the middle when the car is at normal operating temperature. Your battery gauge is not - did you show that to the people at Autozone?
One other thing - when you're idling and switch off AC - does the idling of the engine change? Usually when you switch on AC, the car will increase idling speed to handle the additional AC load. If it doesn't do that it could well be part of the cause why the battery dies.

I slept in my vehicle for a few hours
How long did you charge it?
My workplace is only 10 miles away from home
