Read the TVTropes page for Portal; it's been updated for Portal 2 and there's a lot of stuff in there I didn't notice (like the fact that one of the potato batteries from Bring-Your-Daughter-to-Work-Day is Chell's) which have really interesting implications.
They wrote the history after Portal, so it's possible they just changed their minds about the timeline once they were developing for Portal 2, and just let it stand as the company's "official" history. It's pretty clear from the recordings that Johnson is batshit insane from the get-go, anyway. Who else would do experiments that create mantis men, turn people's blood to gasoline, and purposely create tumors in test subjects so they could cut them out later? And THEN stick his assistant's brain in a computer to run the place? He was totally not all there.
I figure she'd test with the robots for awhile, but you just know she's going to get bored eventually... ):
