Up in the Air (2009 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Up in the Air is a 2009 American comedy-drama film directed by Jason Reitman and co-written by Reitman and Sheldon Turner. It is a film adaptation of the 2001 novel of the same name, written by Walter Kirn. The story is about a corporate "downsizer" Ryan Bingham (George Clooney) and his travels. The film follows his isolated life and philosophies along with the people he meets along the way. Filming was primarily in St. Louis, Missouri, which substituted for a number of other cities shown in the film. Several scenes were also filmed in Detroit, Michigan

Unplanned Downtime
While this has been the least pleasant four weeks of my life, it’s also been an incredible journey and helped put everything in perspective. I’ve truly never been more thankful. I look forward to the day where I can live pain free again, but in the meantime, I’m just itching to get back to work on all of the exciting stuff I’ve dreamed up the last few weeks.
Lesson Learned
Sifter survived. Thrived even. It doesn’t need me to constantly obsess over it in order to succeed. Of course I need to improve Sifter, but I’m already doing that. When I’m not doing it, I don’t need to be worrying about it.
