Narrative:
I climbed aircraft X to FL400. Based on aircraft performance; I expected the aircraft to be level by the boundary. There were a lot of deviations and rerouted aircraft in my sector adding a lot to the complexity of the sector. I didn't notice aircraft Y coming northbound at FL390. I switched aircraft X to ZTL. When the conflict alert activated; I saw that the only solution was to turn aircraft Y to the right. I turned 20 right and called the badin sector right away to tell them. I called several times and they never picked up the line. No separation was lost (due to my turn) but I never officially got permission to turn in their airspace.tmu has to come up with better plans than to constantly keep traffic in area 5 when there is weather. The complexity of the sectors go through the roof with their asinine ideas to get traffic through with virtually no restrictions. I was so distracted by the huge departure push over mol that I missed a simple thing.
