I can relate to the OP, there are some nights out where I feel beat down by the Matrix and the last thing I want is another glaring reminder that I'm in it.
On those occasions, you're better off spending the night to yourself, relaxing the way you like. Do something real and enriching.
If a girl talking about her job is getting you down, the problem isn't her. You should always be lighthearted and teasing. If you can't get yourself there mentally, call it a night. You're not going to be racking up notches by trying to have meaningful, deep conversations with women in bars.
I say all of this with the utmost empathy and from experience. There is no greater letdown than knowing that women are, by a great majority, completely vapid, shallow, uninteresting, and annoying.
