We do not have the cash flow. We have 17 permanent workstations and a true server between the two locations and the server is at home office. The last time I took any kind of computer training was in 1998; however, I'm very efficient with Excel, Word, Power Point, Adobe, as well as hard-wiring a system correctly. I eventually manage all the programming errors such as sharing or firewall rejections. Again, I know just enough to be dangerous and I'm self taught out of necessity. What is my best course of action to learn what I need to learn in order to be the administrator, programmer, security, and every other aspect of IT I must know now and fast? I work 6 days a week, 12-16 hours per day. I'm only don't go into work on Sunday, but that is the day I normally catch up on emails to vendors, service, as well as accounting.
