Bullshit. There was a whole board of inquiry at the start of Aliens that had to have taken months to complete on its own.
Yeah, Ripley was already working on a space dock for while when they came for her asking to back LV-426.
She was already operating a that hydraulic suit who is a major plot point for the Alien Queen fight
To get forklift certificated takes 5 days, how much longer could a hydraulic suit certificate that fills the same niche really take?
Didn't she also get settled in with a new life, apartment, and job?
yep! & she woke up in Aliens 80 years later.
She didn't live through those years, though.
That could fit in from the "from her perspective" part, though. If you went to sleep and it was 80 years later when you worked back up and you hadn't even aged, from your perspective 80 years ago was just yesterday.
