Library Googly Eyes

After hours and hours of reading from a textbook, with teeny tiny textbook text, your vision becomes blurry and one of your eyeballs keeps crossing and you can't stop it.
Signs of library googly eyes:

1. You walk by a cubical and see legs coming out from underneath the desk.
2. The person under the desk is napping.
3. You see a person attempting to type a paper with one eye closed. (drunk texting logic does not work in this state)
4. You make eye contact with a person, and their eyes are all googly and scary.
5. You see them trying to Google" how to rent a seeing eye dog for the walk home."
