Quoted from Shadowe: A bit late to noticing this but there's lifehacker's bash which at least lets you LOOK like a wizard while also helping get tedious work done faster.
Where you look for information really depends on what you need to do with linux. Just being a generic small office IT guy (or even doing generic office work on linux) is going to be a lot different than being Mr. Database for an entire district.
What I'm doing right now is just maintaining servers at a data center. I'll sit at my desk until a reboot request is submitted and then after pinging or sshing into the server and seeing if it's down or up - I'll get up, go into the server room, console into the server, try to see what's wrong with it. Usually I won't know. I can only really handle a simple reboot from an overload or a kernel panic, and that's just a bunch of memorized commands that have flooded into my head.
The idea is to be able to do just about everything at some point, not just navigate the Linux environment as a casual user, and nobody expects me to learn this stuff overnight. Unfortunately in order for this job to pay off I need to spend most of my off time grilling over it, and starting from the very bottom. I also need to focus on why's as well as how's and right now I know more about how to do things than why I'm doing them.
Nutshell: I don't know shit, and am way out of my depth. The next year is for me to spend trying to get to the surface...or at least close.
