As long as you deviated and no revenue ticket was booked (which is what I believe you did) on the flight you jumpseat on you are in the clear. It doesn't matter why your are traveling, what day you travel, where you live or where your base is. Period!

As a long time commuter I would have done the exact same thing as you did. Cheers!
