Narrative:

I have worked this airspace for many years and have never done what I did last night. Vny and bur departure procedures point at each other; you can't have one released off of each airport; and yet I did. I released aircraft X off of bur ;and some amount of time later vny called with aircraft Y who had a two minute window from tmu. It was only after they tagged up at the same time that I realized what I had done. After that 'murphys law' started beating me over the head. Aircraft X; the airbus; didn't climb; aircraft Y did. The airbus turned to what must have been a 310 heading instead of the 010 that I feel I issued. Aircraft Y said 'I think we see him over there'. The airbus 'may' have stopped his climb because of TCAS; but didn't say anything. This ground track (310) and altitude (3;000) put him in worse conflict with both the aircraft Y and traffic on the bur localizer. Recommendation; I recall thinking great; just 30 minutes left in my shift; the weather is the best it's been all day; I'll talk to some aircraft and then go home. Complacency; I didn't expect any complex problems; so I ended up creating one. Because it was all combined at moorpark; I feel I would only have situations that moorpark has; not a valley problem. If it was all combined at valley I wouldn't be writing about this deal; but a different one on the moorpark side. No solution; my intensity just wasn't there.
