So what if you don't have time to read the manual, you already have 8 college degrees, and your company doesn't offer any good training? This is when you need to get your colleagues to help.

See, you might not be the best at something, but I bet one of you coworkers is! (Otherwise the job would never get done) The problem is that people are used to being paid for their knowledge and skills, and you're not paying the people you work with. So how do you get them to help you learn? Trade them.

See, even if you're not the best at Pivot Tables, maybe you can rock the hell out of a PowerPoint. So if you help someone with their presentation, they will likely return the favor when you need a knowledge bomb dropped.
