Have a little class
Seriously consider taking advantage of any professional development opportunities that come your way. If you can take a weekend course on using Microsoft Office tools, take it. The same is true for conferences and seminars. If your company is willing to pay for you to go to any sort of class or training, it is in your best interest to take advantage of that opportunity. Beside the content of the classes, you might find that you are able to learn a lot of practical stuff by association with fellow classmates and conference goers.
Meeting people with similar jobs and work related hassles can give you a fresh perspective on what you are doing. It is also a great place to network. Consider these classes an opportunity to both learn and network. Make contacts among your peers. It can only help you professionally to know as many people as possible.
