The English major in me is starting to bristle at the amount of adjectives and adverbs piling up here. Will shorten to:

I have to interview an applicant via Zoom for a part-time position here at the library, so I need to go act like an (ostensibly) responsible adult for the rest of the day. I'll let the discussion continue while I'm away, and then make an executive decision tonight.

Needs passive voice.

The passive voice is needed? Is that what was said by you?

Overbearlingly judgmental English majors are driven exceedingly crazy by excessive use of unnecessary adverbs, redundant and surplus adjectives, and the passive voice.
