Narrative:

The sectors were not combined in the normal fashion. There was also WX in the northeast portion of our airspace. I opened sector 7 and combined sector 33 with it the way it should have been. Sector 8 was now alone and sector 35 remained open. This confign requires 4 radar controllers and 1 a-side as a minimum. The staffing at that time is only 6 controllers total. At least 2 sectors usually require a d-side, even without WX. No controllers were held over, no flow was implemented for the arrival/departure rush that always is busy on monday nights. The supervisor was new and untrained and unaware of the traffic. My sector traffic climbed to about 16 aircraft with deviations and I inadvertently climbed an aircraft at FL330 to FL370 when he had traffic at FL350. If I'd had a d-side it probably wouldn't have happened.

Title: OPERROR LTSS BTWN 2 ACRS WHEN THE RPTR CLBED ONE FROM FL330 TO FL370 AND IT CONFLICTED WITH THE OTHER AT FL350.

Narrative: THE SECTORS WERE NOT COMBINED IN THE NORMAL FASHION. THERE WAS ALSO WX IN THE NE PORTION OF OUR AIRSPACE. I OPENED SECTOR 7 AND COMBINED SECTOR 33 WITH IT THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. SECTOR 8 WAS NOW ALONE AND SECTOR 35 REMAINED OPEN. THIS CONFIGN REQUIRES 4 RADAR CTLRS AND 1 A-SIDE AS A MINIMUM. THE STAFFING AT THAT TIME IS ONLY 6 CTLRS TOTAL. AT LEAST 2 SECTORS USUALLY REQUIRE A D-SIDE, EVEN WITHOUT WX. NO CTLRS WERE HELD OVER, NO FLOW WAS IMPLEMENTED FOR THE ARR/DEP RUSH THAT ALWAYS IS BUSY ON MONDAY NIGHTS. THE SUPVR WAS NEW AND UNTRAINED AND UNAWARE OF THE TFC. MY SECTOR TFC CLBED TO ABOUT 16 ACFT WITH DEVS AND I INADVERTENTLY CLBED AN ACFT AT FL330 TO FL370 WHEN HE HAD TFC AT FL350. IF I'D HAD A D-SIDE IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED.
