is definition of yuppie changing economist suntribune august 31 1988 c9 the yuppies it would appear have had a change of values it is no longer the one with the most toys at the end who wins but the one who can prove he or she had the busiest schedule for todays selfrespecting pro fessional it is an admission of failure to tell someone you just stayed home and puttered around the condo last night typical of this shift in priorities is the wording of so many com mercials and print media ads aimed at such types maybe ive lived in stouffville too long but i burst into laughter the other day when i read one such ad in a prestigious toronto magazine i was only reading it because it was the best of a bad lot in the doctors office this outrageously high brow comeon was entitled the spoil ed couple and was selling some posh mall or other it read i just cant believe how busy our lives are the renovation cooking classes the crazy work hours and all those parties i suppose you could say we spoil ourselves but weve thought about it and we just dont know of anyone wed rather spoil than each other but its not just the yuppies who have adopted this keep moving at all costs philosophy there are a lot of people out f from where i live bruce stapley there who just plain wouldnt know what to do with time on their hands if they didnt allocate it all in advance i know people who are almost afraid to take a holiday that doesnt come complete with whirlwind tours daily bus or walking excursions and plenty of builtin night life to tide them through then there are those who bury themselves in their work because theyve never been able to figure out how to relax in an easy non- pressurized environment when questioned these folks just get uppity and spout something about the work ethic being a high ideal but the sad truth of the matter is weve forgotten how to just sit back pull out a good book or simply vegetate for a few hours or days in the case of vacations weve gotten so used

the point where we actually brag about how frantic our lives are many homes today resemble train sta tions with people constantly com ing and going checking their watches and loading themselves up with stuff as they head out the door now ive never been one for trandscendental meditation or yoga but i have to believe there are valid principles being ad vanced by such disciplines i can sit at the side of the road and watch a sunset for 15 or 20 minutes without feeling ive lost that time to inactivity or unproductiveness but im beginning to suspect im the only person who does that kind of thing anymore and its not because ive got nothing better to do im always behind in everything just like everybody else so dont hand me any more of that guff about your full life and how you are so busy you
