As I have become older, much of my personality is situational. This would really upset the younger me. In general, I curse freely. At work, in the office, it's quite commonplace and the die-hards here will actually think less of you for not cursing. Odd professional office environment for sure, but I kinda like it. In general, I look at my interactions with other people the way stand-up comedians should....you have to gauge the room before you interact too much. This can make a break any situation, especially when it comes to business or networking. For the most part, I deal with supervisors, production employees and contractors which tends to get me more of bit of rapport if I tend not to act too professionally around them. I, personally, would rather be around people who are a little lax in their verbiage than to be quite so uptight.
