Default Need help with possible short or ????

my 2002 Z sat for a week went to drive it to work and it started and ran just fine. Drove it to work and then parked it for 8 hours. Left work to go home and it just cranked but didn't start. Eventually I drained the battery down and then it just clicked. The DIC flashed all sorts of error messages(service active handling,service traction control, low voltage, check charging system).I had someone give me a jump and still didn't fire. After touching all of the battery connections still no fire. Then went to the alternator made sure that all of the connections were tight and then it fired. I sat there and was just amazed. It drove home just fine and the alternator was charging the battery per the DIC at 14.2 volts. I took it to a service shop and had them do a load test on the battery and the alternator and it passed just fine? Now I am really stump because it happened again today. Please help???
