I've recently taught myself to substitute "__" or "bunnies" when I want to swear at work. The former was pretty trivial. The latter requires improvising an interesting way to work it in to the sentence, and this usually defuses my actual frustration as an added benefit.

It probably helps that I tend to swear rather prolifically to begin with, of course, so I get a lot of practice in :)
