But this is my home machine, and I'd just like to receive notification at work if it reboots for some odd reason.

A couple thing here. rc-status shows /etc/init.d/local as part of the _default_ runlevel. /etc/init.d/local stop - warns about shutting a boot service. This warning only happens the first time it is stopped after a reboot. Subsequent stops and starts produce no warnings. It looks to me like _local_ is for some reason being started earlier than it should, or my understanding of the boot process is limited.
