Worth the wait?

I finally, nearly nine months after starting the job, have a desk (infront
of the window no less) which I can fill up with all my crap. This is the
highlight of my week. Unfortunately I have no excuse not to clear out my
locker where all the aforementioned crap has been placed up to this point.
I'll maybe get around to that once I've stopped looking out of the window,
trying to identify all the local landmarks. And while I'm on the subject of
work, why when I do protein searches do I just get a list of patent numbers.
Does this mean that half the proteins in my body actually are the property
of someone else?
