Problem: Options disappear - why?

Evenin' gentle women and madammy men,
Been playing for hours on end, and one thing keeps mystifying me:
Sometimes options to do things disappear inexplicably. I just learned the secrets of the post at Nuncio (level 10) and had the following options:
1. I checked at the Inky Blotter and had the options to either "judge" or "honour" the postmen.
2. I went to work at shift at the Dead Letter Office and had the option to tell the rat what I saw.
3. I went to the beach and looked at the tide carry in more pointless post.
I went to the beach and picked that option.
Then I wanted to go tell the rat, and then I wanted to honour the postmen for their admirable work. I couldn't do these two things. Only one thing. Is this a bug? Is it a feature of the game that you only get to do things ONCE? Like how Recent News can only be "used" once. Is it the same deal at Nuncio that I just described?
I get that it makes sense to restrict how much the player can do at any one time so as to not exhaust the game too quickly, but it annoys me to no end that it is never CLEAR what happens when I make a choice - HOW does it impact the other choices I have? What will I *NOT* be able to do as a result of what I choose.
Is there a system or rule I'm missing here? And if so - how did you come to know it?
