Exclamation Meaning of being patted on the head - 06-28-2010, 01:26 PM

Dear all,

I've recently been patted on the head not once, but TWICE by my Japanese superior during a work dinner party (nomikai) . In my culture, head-patting is something not done to a non-personal friend, so I wonder what does it mean in Japanese culture? I'm a little worried that I might misunderstand something here.
