In Too Deep

I've been at this for awhile, each day every day. One program, system, or site and where am I?
Too far...pages and pages of notes, passwords,user names...today is one of those days where I don't know which end is up.
OK, I do have a part time job...mostly. You would think with all that free time, I would have mastered this apparent elusive art. But no, I'm still out here, little fish, being lured into deeper waters each step.
So, what's a newbie to do? Right now, I think I'll just hang out near the shore and chill.
