I was getting busy and was feeling very tired and behind the power curve right from the start. I got a Radar Assist position; but was not even able to get him a proper briefing because of the amount of workload I was handling. I did not put 27000 feet in the data tag on this aircraft. It was still showing 29000 feet causing me to turn him right in front of another aircraft at 28000 feet; however with the proper turns and pilot immediate actions I was able to maintain separation. I would not have been able to do so if that pilot was not on top of his game. He was GREAT! I have no excuses to make here. We have been super short staffed and with weather throughout our sectors and more than the normal amount of traffic through this sector I am beat and can only pray we get relief from this shortage soon before something worse happens.
