Situation 5, when she's saying she's having a bad day at work, I think it's okay to sometimes acknowledge with "sorry to hear that". Just not every time it's brought up. You still want to be friendly to her to a point after all, not an @$$.
Situation 6 and 7. If she starts going off again, just say, I am sorry you feel that way. And that's it. Actually for Situation 7, I would have just laid into her and get that weight you have off your chest. How she keeps putting herself up as the victim, yet is the one who is controlling everything. But that's just me.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
