Even I got in on the action. . .(Letter #5)

Thursday night we had gone to bed with the lights flashing brightly, and Thursday morning at about 2:30am Greg, (who has been focusing much energy on this whole lights thing) nudges me on the shoulder to wake me up.

"Christa?" he says.

I make a non-commital noise in reply.

"Am I dreaming, or are the lights a bit dimmer?"

And it was at that point that I decided something needed to be done about these lights as me waking up every few hours or so with Greg to judge the latest brightness wouldn't be helpful for my work career.

Or, for that matter, our marriage. So I wrote this letter to Clear Channel Communications after being given the run-around on their phone system as I tried to lodge a complaint:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to complain about the flashing lights just east of my home in Savannah subdivision in Frederick, Colorado. Since these lights have been changed a little over a week or so ago; their bright, strobe-like lights are keeping my husband and me awake at night as the light penetrates through our blinds and curtains. It is completely ridiculous how bright these lights are at night, and we've been forced to sleep in our guest bedroom on the western side of the house on workday nights to escape the 'disco fever' atmosphere created in our bedroom by this tower.

I would request that you do something about this immediately. I can't imagine that this is zone-compliant considering how close this tower is to residential property. The sooner these lights go back to being normal in the evening, the sooner I can sleep in my bedroom. If this were in your backyard, you'd be pretty inconvenienced as well.

Additionally, I tried to lodge a complaint via telephone, but was given the run-around twice by your automated voice system before being hung-up on. That is also ridiculous. I would suggest you change that system to be more customer-friendly for complaints that need to be lodged about your electronics.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,


Christa
