 I made the mistake of being in a hurry!

I had my oil changed at one of those Jiffy Lube places. I told them that I wanted non synthetic 10-40 for my car.

Well, I got 10-40 synthetic. Ooooops. Apparently they did not pay attention.

Will this mess with my engine that has 118k, never rebuilt and runs like a champ?

I usually go though a quart of oil every two tanks.

Should I be concerned or take a chill pill?

might start cleaning up the inside of the engine. normally, if there is a lot of crud inside, it will stay where it is with your normal oil.  throw in a synthetic with a lot of detergents, it could knock a lot of that stuff loose and run the risk of clogging up an oil passage.   I would get it out of there.  my 2 cents.

I agree, why 10 40 , oil pressure ?  Stock engine ,
Treat the synthetic as a flush , get it out
