Oh...btw, this next month or so, they're going to be testing your patience. Deliberately, some would say. Stay on top of this paperwork, do it as soon as you get it and get it back to them as soon as you can. There's always problems with it and you are about to get your first real lessons in what it means to work for the government. Be polite, responsive, and persistent...they're not being malicious, they're just being bureaucratic.
Remember, we are itty-bitty cogs in a giant piece of Rube Goldberg-esque machinery. It works, it's not very efficient (again, deliberately so), and it takes time and attention to keep it working, and you're going to think the result is pretty silly looking in the end.
