Go to the gym and work out. I hardly talk to anyone when I'm mad- I want to be left alone. If I'm upset about something, I will go running and let myself cry it out when I run. If it is something work-related, I call up a couple of friends who are also teachers and ask them if life sucks at work - 99.9% (actually 100%) of the time, they say YES! Then we usually end up at our favorite happy hour place and get drowned in some good drinks as we gripe about work. If it is a serious situation (such as my uncle who just died this past weekend from the most horrible way to die), I pray.
