I did check out the Photoshop for Dummies book and it wasn't very helpful to me at least for my photo editing work.

There is a class I can take at the photography school in Seattle. Unfortunately it doesn't start until March.

I took a look at that book when I first bought Photoshop as well and it wasn't my style either. Honestly, I think some of the tutorials online are as good (if not better) than some of the books that you can buy. I've found that along with a healthy dose of experimentation, that's sufficient. Good luck to you and I hope you find a book/class/website that works for you!
Heh, I can definitely relate to how the time just flies by when using Photoshop/Painter/graphics program of choice.
Speaking of which, I came across some older icons from 'Rocketman' on my harddrive that must've gotten lost in the shuffle at some point...
