Well there's ur problem 
2-13 of the OM:
1. Insert a coin into the slot on the back of the transmitter and gently pry apart the front and back.
2. Gently pull the battery out of the transmitter.
3. Put the new battery in the transmitter, positive (+) side up. Use a battery, type CR2032, or equivalent.
4. Reassemble the transmitter. Make sure to put it together so water won’t get in.
5. Test the transmitter.
You'll probably need to resynchronized it afterwards. Also starts on page 2-13.

Suppose this may be helpful too:
Resynchronizing Your Transmitter
Your RKE system uses a continually changing code for increased security. Normally, the receiver in your vehicle will keep track of this changing code. If your vehicle does not respond to your transmitter, do the following to determine what’s wrong:
1. Get closer to the vehicle and try pressing a button again. Your battery may be low. If so, see “Battery Replacement” in the Index.
2. While standing close to your vehicle, press the lock and unlock buttons on your transmitter at the same time and hold for seven seconds. This will attempt to resynchronize the security code in your RKE transmitter.
3. When resynchronization is achieved, the horn will chirp.
If attempts to resynchronize your transmitter to the vehicle are not successful, you may need to match the transmitter to the vehicle. See “Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle” in the Index.

Before you retrain, try resync by holding the lock and unlock buttons until the horn honks. If that doesn't work, retrain. One thing you should know, a lot of 2000 fobs have been failing. The failure pattern is that it quits, you reprogram or resync it and it works for a short period and fails again. Some have been able to resolder connections and get them to work, but most have had to replace the fob. If that happens, gmpartshouse.com has the best price I have found on replacements for the 2000. (around $70)

Thanks again peeps....
I guess I could have worded the whole key/work/home thing differently...the Vette isn't my DD, and I wanted to buy a battery to take home to change it...

I tried to help clear it up about your keys being at home, but it didn't take. Maybe I should have said "fob at home". You'd have to have long arms unless you work awfully close to home. I hope the battery fixes it for you.
